GE Ups 9HA Specs Following Completion of Validation Testing
After 200 hours of validation testing, GE has increased the efficiency rating for their HA series turbines by about a half point. For example, the 7HA.02 which had a simple cycle net output of 330 MW and 61.2% combined cycle efficiency last year is now rated at 337 MW simple cycle and 61.9% combined cycle efficiency in a 2x1 multi-shaft configuration.

Gas Turbine Technologies for the Transition
About 60 GW of coal-fired generation in the U.S. will be retired by 2020 and about 35 GW of nuclear capacity will be retired by 2025, according to recent projections by Black & Veatch. Much of that capacity will be replaced with power produced by low-cost, cleaner-burning natural gas. This article reviews the installation of Siemens new FlexPlant technology at the El Segundo Energy Center in California and GE’s new H-class turbines at the Riviera Beach Energy Center in Florida.

GE's New All Air-Cooled H-Class Turbine
GE has introduced a new version of its H-class gas turbine called the HA (the A standing for air-cooled). The first unit will be installed at EDF’s Bouchain combined cycle plant in France with commercial operation scheduled for 2016.

Siemens has received new orders for its SGT6-8000H gas turbine, a scaled up version of the SGT5-8000H turbine. The most recent order for three turbines for Florida Power & Light’s Port Everglades Energy Center brings the total to nine sold in the US and 20 worldwide. The first SBT6-800H was installed in May 2011 at the Irsching Power Station in Germany and has achieved combined cycle efficiencies of over 60%.

GE Introduces New Gas Turbines Plants Rated at More than 61% Combined Cycle Efficiency
The most effective way to increase combined cycle efficiencies is to develop advanced gas turbine engine technologies capable of operating at even higher firing temperatures. GE is introducing a series of air cooled high efficiency gas turbines with firing temperatures of over 2500°F. The first 7HA turbine will be installed at Chubu Electric Power in Japan in 2016; the first 9HA turbine at EdF Bouchain in France in 2015.
